The PHP switch Statement
The switch-case statement is used when performing one statement from numerous conditions.
Syntax
switch (n) { case label1: code to be executed if n=label1; break; case label2: code to be executed if n=label2; break; case label3: code to be executed if n=label3; break; ... default: code to be executed if n is different from all labels; }
Example
$fruits = "apple"; switch ($fruits) { case "apple": echo "This is a apple!"; break; case "mango": echo "This is a mango!"; break; case "kiwi": echo "This is a kiwi!"; break; default: echo "This is neither apple, mango, nor kiwi!"; }
In a switch statement, the block of code runs queue by queue and once a tome PHP finds a case statement that considers true, it’s not ending the execution, but also executes all the blocks of code till the end of the switch statement automatically.
